A lot can be learned about Japan’s past by examining surviving buildings. Their construction techniques, materials and designs give us valuable information about architecture, technology and the way people lived. Some of the oldest buildings are in the cities of Nara, Kamakura and Kyoto. These three cities were centres of government at various times in Japan’s history. They were also religious centres that built shrines for Japan’s ancient Shinto faith, great Buddhist temples and pagodas.

Many examples of Japanese arts and crafts survive today, and these provide a great deal of evidence of life in Japan over the centuries. Paintings often provide detail of the way of life of all classes of people, as well as the clothing they wore and the buildings in which they lived. Many famous events in Japanese history have also been depicted in artworks of the time. Crafts such as origami, printmaking and pottery can also give us insights into Japanese life in past centuries.
